Crystal Palace Fans Having To Pay Almost Twice As Much As Manchester City Fans For FA Cup Final Resale Tickets 6g39s

Crystal Palace fans are being charged almost double that of their Manchester City counterparts for FA Cup final tickets on resale websites.

With the final of football’s oldest cup competition nearly upon us, Crystal Palace and Manchester City are heading to Wembley to battle it out for the famous old trophy.

Last year’s runners-up City beat Nottingham Forest to secure their place in the final.

Pep Guardiola’s men have endured a poor season by their incredibly high standards, losing the Premier League title to Liverpool for the first time since 2020.

But they are still in contention for Champions League qualification after regaining some form in the latter half of the season.

Palace, meanwhile, overcame Aston Villa in their semi-final. The Eagles have never won a major trophy, having lost the FA Cup final twice, in 1990 and 2016.

While City’s trophy cabinet is overflowing, Palace’s is anything but.

For this reason, winning the FA Cup final would mean far more to a lot of Palace fans than it would to City.

And ticket prices certainly reflect that, with Palace fans being charged significantly more on resale sites.

FA Cup Final Tickets More Expensive For Crystal Palace Fans 4j384u

Ahead of the final, the cheapest FA Cup final tickets available on resale site Livefootballtickets.com are in the Manchester City end.

City fans can find options as cheap as £214.50 per ticket, while the cheapest ticket available in the Palace half of the stadium is a whopping £390.

There were only two of those tickets available at the time of writing, with the next-cheapest an eye-watering £454.99.

Even the neutral section of the ground has prices no cheaper than £336.70.

That area of the ground is likely to be dominated by Palace ers, with demand for tickets far greater than from City fans.

Manchester City have 5,000 unsold tickets for the FA Cup semi final, here is what Pep had to say about it.

“One day maybe they will play the FA Cup in the North. They will come to Old Trafford, the Etihad, Anfield, or Goodison Park. Maybe they come here.
